Emeka Ike’s Brother Debunks Allegations By Actor’s Ex-Wife, Son
Veteran Nollywood actor Emeka Ike’s brother, Victor, has stated that the accusations made by the actor’s ex-wife, Suzanne Emma, and his son in a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo were all falsehoods.
He urged the actor’s son, Michael, to apologize to his father for the abusive language and insults.
Victor, also a music producer, claimed that his brother’s ex-wife had slapped her husband on several occasions and conducted unauthorized bank transactions from the actor’s account, of which she was a signatory.
These revelations were shared by Victor in a series of tweets through his X handle (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. He further alleged that Suzanne had fabricated stories about his mother, asserting that she had physically assaulted her multiple times. Despite numerous complaints, Emeka reportedly chose not to address the issue, emphasizing the actor’s strong affection for his wife.
His tweets read, “I heard the lies made against my brother, Emeka Ike, by his ex-wife on #Chude show. So; she slapped him on a number of occasions but now claims he is a wife beater?
“She was a signatory to his bank account and when he was alerted that huge amounts were being withdrawn constantly, he asks to be informed before withdrawals, then she turns it into an issue of being financially deprived?
“He sponsored her from the level of JAMB exams to university and then Masters. He opened CIS movie studio and a secondary school, both of which she was put in charge of and subsequently ruined, and now she claims he never allowed her work.
“Why only use parts of his voice note and not the complete VN, If not for the intent to blackmail him with false allegations?
“Men’s voices don’t matter anymore cos when they try to express themselves, people don’t don’t believe them.”
Biztellers reports that Suzanne had earlier addressed the allegation that she assaulted her ex-husband’s mother, as she narrated her side of the story, saying that Emeka Ike’s mother accosted her mother and accused her of stealing her son’s money.
Micheal, Emeka Ike’s first son, who was featured in a recent interview alongside his mother, recounted harsh things allegedly said to him by his father amid their complicated relationship.
Speaking about his father in the interview, Michael said, “He (father) said whether she wants to kill my siblings, to be like it’s only him that is alive. Let everyone kill themselves.
“He (father) said, ‘You’re doing music, you’ll never prosper. I’ll see you on the side of the road, and I’ll spit on you. Don Jazzy would never see you.'”
Emeka Ike had also revealed the harrowing experience he went through, resulting in the loss of property worth millions of naira and limited access to his children, due to assault allegations made by his estranged wife, Suzanne Emma.
Ike shared his side of the story during a recent interview disclosing that the assault allegations made against him led to the closure of his secondary school, St. Nicholas College, on CMD Road, Magodo, which he said was an investment worth over N480 million.
He emphasised that the accusations tarnished his reputation and resulted in the loss of valuable assets.
Nigerians have, however, continued to react to the allegations and counter allegations.
An X user fazygodspower, wrote, “You people should fix a townhall meeting you’re just entertaining the internet.”
Another X user, identified as onlineguru_, wrote, “Emeka Ike messed up big time. I don’t care who is wrong or right but he started all these r3bbish now he is trying to play the victim.”
A user, rahliasugar, wrote, “And oh, a woman cannot turn grown kids against their dad so tell your brother to fix his temper.”

The actress described heaven as a peaceful and serene realm, where she felt liberated from all her earthly burdens. “I saw myself in heaven. Very peaceful. All my burdens were lifted. I didn’t want to come back. It was so cool and smooth.
“The feeling is out of this world. I was a queen. I had servants and gold coins everywhere. Believe me, this is what I saw,” Ogala recalled.
Despite the tranquility and beauty of her heavenly surroundings, Ogala was guided down a “beautiful passage” and told by a divine force that it was not yet her time to remain.
“God said to me, my child go back, it’s not your turn yet,” she explained, expressing her reluctance to leave the blissful experience behind.
Nollywood star and politician, Funke Akindele, has opened up about the emotional and psychological toll of recent events in her life, revealing that she nearly broke down completely following a series of personal and professional setbacks.
Speaking in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the actress detailed how the death of her mother, the collapse of her marriage to Abdulrasheed Bello (popularly known as JJC Skillz), and her defeat in the 2023 elections left her deeply depressed.
“I do not like to mourn. I remember when my mom passed on, I just wanted to get out of it quickly. I like to get out of the situation quickly. I do not allow myself to break down, and it affected me after my mom’s death. And I almost died,” Akindele said.

She also addressed her ongoing struggles as a single mother, alleging that her estranged husband has failed to take responsibility for their twin boys, born in 2018.
“I lost my mum, my marriage fell apart, I lost in politics, I have to get back to work, I have to earn a living. I have children I’m raising alone and you are stressing me,” she said.
Recall that Akindele and JJC Skillz were married in 2016 and ended their union in 2022.
The music producer announced their separation in a post on Instagram, stating:
“I’m making this announcement to clear the public that we both are pursuing separate lives. We still have issues such as the custody and wellbeing of our children to be addressed, as well as business interests which need to be disentangled, but I have no doubt that these will be resolved in one way or the other.”
However, Akindele’s recent comments suggest that the issues concerning co-parenting remain unresolved.
In the interview, she recounted a moment when online criticism pushed her to the edge.
“My heart was aching and something happened online. For the first time I took my phone, I went live on social media and I’m like, you all should leave me alone. Do I know this person? No, this person came to act in my movie, got paid, and left. Why are you accusing me of something I didn’t do wrong?” she said.
“Do you know what I’m going through?… So, for the first time, I cried. I broke down for weeks,” she added.
Nigerian street-hop sensation Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has withdrawn from his planned celebrity boxing match with fellow artist Darlington Achakpo Okoye, aka Speed Darlington.
The controversial singer made the announcement in a video shared on his Instagram, where he declared that he no longer wished to face Speed Darlington, calling the rapper an unworthy opponent.
Portable took it a step further by challenging former world heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, to a match, demanding a prize purse of 100 million naira.

“I’m not fighting Speed Darlington again; I want Anthony Joshua with 100m,” Portable boldly declared in the viral clip, which quickly gained traction online.
In the video, Portable also accused Speed Darlington of using the planned boxing match as a publicity stunt to promote his upcoming show set for April.
He further asserted that his standing in the Nigerian music scene is far superior to that of Speed Darlington, who had recently made headlines after his release from Kuje Prison in January, where he was detained for allegedly defaming Afrobeat star Burna Boy.
The announcement comes just days after Speed Darlington began training for the match.
In a mocking video, the rapper was seen buying a coffin, which many interpreted as a taunt toward Portable, before heading to the gym with his trainer to work on his fitness for the planned showdown.
The boxing event was originally scheduled to take place on April 18, 2025, at the Balmoral Convention Center in Lagos State.
However, Portable’s sudden withdrawal has cast doubt on the future of the fight, leaving fans uncertain about the prospect of seeing the two entertainers in the ring.
For now, the anticipated celebrity clash seems to be off the table — at least until another twist in this ongoing drama emerges.
